Trump Wants to Read Ukraine Transcript to Nation

“A defiant President Trump signaled he will not cooperate with the Democratic Party’s impeachment proceedings, insisting his telephone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was ‘a good call’ and that he might read it aloud to Americans so they can see his point,” the Washington Examiner reports.

Said Trump: “This is over a phone call that is a good call. At some point, I’m going to sit down, perhaps as a fireside chat on live television, and I will read the transcript of the call, because people have to hear it. When you read it, it’s a straight call.”

kind of underwhelming, really, but when you start at the top, there's nowhere to go but down.

if he does read it, i hope someone slips the complete transcript onto his teleprompter.

At some point the 'being uncooperative' defense must cost the dick tater dearly.

Let's remember that Donald Trump is a pathological liar with zero credibility.

If he actually did read something it wouldn't be the actual transcript.

His adhd will kick in and he will start commenting on it, cheer-leading, and blow-harding while he reads it.

Lead item: Melonville Mayor Tommy Shanks accused of siphoning thousands of dollars from the milk fund. Earl tries to interview the Mayor, but Floyd, who is "under the weather", butts in and asks Shanks if his mother knew he stole that money. Shanks gets upset. Earl tries to take control and tells Floyd to shut up, and then tells Shanks to shut up. Shanks, ticked, comes down to the station to kick both their heads in.

(Rump is too much of a physical coward to go after Levy and Flaherty. They'd kick his ass, and he'd commence to blubberin.)
